Well, my trip back did not go as planned. It took a long time to get a cab out of the city to Oakland. The travel agency at work booked me to Oakland for some reason, instead of to SFO. The cab ride made the ultimate cost more expensive. Anyhow. After about 45 minutes, I got into a cab, at 7:00PM, when my flight was at 7:35PM. So I missed my plane, and the other planes to both LAX and Burbank were overbooked. So I had to fly into Ontario and I’m staying at my parents.

The flight was fine. I actually fell asleep on takeoff and woke up when the wheels touched ground. That is the world’s best flight, I think.

I will recap the conference soon. I’m still kind of trying to digest everything, and I have a lot of work to do with followups on contacts, etc. I do want to talk about identity culture vs. interior culture as well, in respect to ringtones.

For those that started reading this blog at the event: thanks! I never wanted to be a blogger. I run this big REM site and work on that a lot, and its enough pretty much. The only reason I used to blog was to just externalize my brain, but it got kind of strange. So now I like being a bit more cynical, less emo and hopefully funnier.

I enjoyed meeting everyone at this event, and I hope you all keep reading. I’ll try to keep it interesting as both a day by day from my life in the entertainment industry, as well as my observations on the Internet and tech culture.
